Bottle. Had this at the 2010 St. Paul Summer Beer Fest and it was one of the half dozen beers I noted to buy when I had the chance. The chance was New Year’s eve and it was my first beer of the evening..ok 2nd, but first at the party. Probably wouldn’t have been my choice to have so early but McBeer did it and I always do whatever he does. Aroma has some bourbon notes, though don’t recall this as being a bourbon aged brew. Could be my skills have diminished some after going from 300+ ratings per year down to 3+. Murky, brownish orange with a thin, off-white head. Initial mouthfeel is that of alcohol, but the finish is smooth without an alcohol burn. Banana esters greet the nose as it nears the glass. A really nice, strong, warming quad that is worth your while.

Nice quad. Not as good as a Rochefort 10 or Gulden Draak but I prefer it over Three Philospohers. Typical caramelly, sweet flavor.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown/amber color. Complicated aroma and taste. Strong sweet taste in the middle, dominated by fruits, caramel, and other spices. A bit too rich for my taste, but a bottle easily can be consumed before the powerful sweet taste becomes overwhelming to the palate.

Bottle from Barley’s and Hops. Pours a dark brown/red color with a small off-white head. A sweet malty and fruit nose. The flavor is overripe fruits, some light caramel and candies, dry, not very hot, not too overwhelming. Pretty understated. Smooth, some nice dry yeasty fruits.

Cloudy amber brown in color with a sweet malty aroma. Smooth upfront, with a bit of sweetness and a slight caramel coming through in the back. Not at all dry. Lots of residual sugars making up the body. The 11.8% ABV is well hidden. Enjoyable beer for a fireside conversation starter or maybe with a warm bowl of stew.

355ml bottle. Amber rust pour with an egg nog coloured head that leaves minimal lace. Bananas, chalk and spice on the nose with a phenol note. Almost watery on the palate. Quite disappointing.

12oz bottle pours a havy redish beer slight off white head, Aroma is strong with fruits, bubblegum, banana, and other dark fruits like cherries, raisin and some alcohol. Taste is very nice with strong notes of banana and bubblegum well balanced. A great beer for how high alcohol content, easy to drink.

Bottle... Poured deep brown-caramel-ish tone. This was a very sweet brew. Lots of spices and esters all over, with toffee and burnt sugar sweetness. Figs, apricots, raisins, and other dark, dried fruit flavors.
